October

Cathi Bond chats with award-winning author, Richard B. Wright about his latest novel, October. Set in World War II Quebec, the book follows the life of retired professor James Hillyer, who discovers that his middle-aged daughter is dying.
October, though, is much more than a journey through illness. Itâe(TM)s a story about family, unrequited young love and old grudges. Perhaps most interesting of all, though, October offers a truly fascinating look into the male psyche.
